Thanks for all the info greatly appreciated Riding the rubicon is a unforgettable experience.A buddy of mine has a cabin off ice house rd.so we usually ride in from wentworth springs and head up from there.The lower secton is genrally fire roads and some single track,but no sense in riding hard you will need every ounce of energy to get through the rocky/boulder sections.We usually stop at spider lake and take a cool off dip.Then tackle Cadillac hill very fun,then down to the green bridge and on out to lake Tahoe.Ive only made it to Tahoe once,Some of the guys I go with have made it several times.Between someone crashing,breaking,flats or just cant make it any further.There are a lot of different things that can cause a short trip.You have to dig deep inside your self to make it.You need a oversize tank,and a skidplate is a must,its about a four hour adventure.This style of half trials half crosscountry riding is not for everyone,but something every offroad rider should experience.Though welcome, the snowfall has also proven dangerous.Ĭonditions have hampered search and rescue efforts for a missing 43-year-old ski shop worker in Truckee, Rory Angelotta, who was last seen heading out to ski on Christmas morning. I saw pictures on a 4x4 site and was sold. Oooooh, I want to ride the Rubicon trail. ![]()
